Bikes and Humble Pie

Remember that time I built a bike and thought I was so awesome? Yea, neither do I. Luckily I have a blog that records everything.

Turns out I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to bikes. I was going to grease the headset today…because I overlooked that before. Well, I have destroyed the interior of the headset. All the bearings went spilling all over the place, shards of torn up metal came spilling out. Awesome. Lesson learned. Grease things that have to handle a lot of friction.

Good thing I’ve been collecting bike parts I’ve found on the street. I almost have enough for a new bike. I think. This may end disastrously. I’ll let you know.
